every halt by taking all the rest thus af-
forded.
Most Of the section of country traversed
was low, and the roads when not overfIown
we're either quite muddy or else very rough.
IN many places roads had to be made and
bridges built; frequently, however, the
Dad ran along the top of the levee as be-
ore stated.
The first days march took the command
o Richmond, small town nearly west Of
Yicksburg, and the next to Holmes plan
alton, large tract of land belonging TO
General Holmes OF the Confederate army.
Here stop of several days was made, and
from a letter written from here Sunday,
April 10, by the writer, the following ex-
tract is made: stIhere are q great many
fine plantations through here; indeed
through this part of the country there is
nothing else but fine ones. Most of these
have from thirty to fifty negro houses
(quarters) on them.
1.-THE planter usually lives in one-story
house with porches all around it. The
plantations though are mostly deserted,
only few negroes remaining. 1t has been
only three or four weeks since the first
Federal troops came in here. One month
ago the Secesh thought they were entirely
safe here, but they were mistaken.
"Corn (April l9) is six inches high and has
been plowed once, the forest is as green as
it will be this year; roses and nearly all
flowers are in full bloom.
1--WE are now encamped on a plantation
owned by a man named Holmes-now a
General in the SeceSh army. This place con-
tains nine hundred acres and is the small
est of four belonging TO Holmes. He also
owns four steamboats, on the Mississippi
river. On this plantation is fine mill.
Down here they have cotton-gins, grist and
saw-mills all under one roof.n
The night Of April 49, 1868, the six gun
boats, Benton, louisville, Lafayette, Mound
City and Carondolet, and the three trans
ports Forest Queen, Silver Wave and
Henry Clay, ran the batteries at Vicksburg
and Warrenton, few miles below All
passed safely except the Henry Clay, which
was destroyed.
The transports were loaded with army
stores; their boilers We're protected with
cotton bales and bales Of hay, and each
had in tow one or more barges loaded with
coal.
Every vessel was struck a number OF
times, but none save the Henry Clay re-
ceived vital injury.
Regarding this occurrence the following
extract is taken from letter OF April ~,
1868, written from Holmes plantation,
about twenty miles west Of Vicksburg:
1--WE are to march again in few days; are
going to Carthage, which is on the river
below Vicksburg Most Of the heavy
things such as large tents, commissary
stores, etc., were taken aboard transports
to be conveyed down the Eiver. These, of
course, had to run the blockade at Vic6s-
burg, and this they did last Thursday
night april 16) There were three (str)
gun-boats and four three transports. We
heard the firing very distinctly. One
transport was burned"
The regiment, in common with the
division, received marching orders the
evening of April "a, and about eight
o'clock at night got under way The

roads were rough and the night was dark,
consequently ones footing was most IN
certain. In the bayous all about the ALI
gators made night hideous with their bel
lowing. All night the regiment marched,
and next morning at six o'clock pulled up
at Smiths plantation, two and one-half
miles from New Carthage. Here the
division went into camp, and, although
two or three miles from the river, several
steam boats came in on bayou and were
near camp for q day or so.
Having met with such success running
the blockade the night of April 16, the
Federals resolved to attempt it again, con-
sequently the next week a number of trans
port were loaded with stores and with
Uuem boilers and machinery well protected
with baled hay and cotton again ran the
blockade, losing only one vessel, the
Tigress, if the writer's memory serves him
well. The boats that came to Smiths
plantation had been struck in a number OF
places and had portions Of their pilothouses
shot away. One boat was the Hiawatha
and the other the Silver Wave.
While at Smiths plantation quite little
sensation was created from one of the sol
examination however it proved to be of
little danger though received in the neck;
it was from revolver shot of such small
caliber that but little injury was inflicted.
This was Sunday and is remembered as
a warm, sultry day, the sun at one time
shining bright at another passing behind
clouds. a little while before night, orders
came to pack up and go on the march at
once The night was intensely dark and
soon a drilling rain began falling, but
the men marched along as merry as could
be, singing, whistling and cracking jokes.
But after a time the pitchy darkness, wet
ting rain and rough roads took the merrl-
ment out of every one, and the march was
continued till about one or two o'clock a. m,
when the regiment was halted by the side
Of rail fence, and the writer remembers
sleeping sweetly on two fence rail for per-
haps two hours and a half, when some cof-
fee was hastily made and drank, and the
march resumed at daylight.
It still rained and the roads were horrl-
BILE, but the march was kept up all day,
while the weather continued cloudy and
rain fell at intervals. The country passed
| through was uninviting, and the bad roads
and unpleasant day make the memory of
this time any thing bus pleasant, Wagons
and artillery stalled and horses and
| mules mired down, and all had to be pulled
and lifted out by hand
Night at last came and the writer re-
members feeling too tired even to sleep.
Coffee was made and plenty of this
| drank, and in short time renewed
strength seemed to come. With the coffee
was eaten hard bread and salt pork.

During the Vicksburg Campaign.
well-kept general hospitals of Memphis,
never had he seen all arrangements for the
sick so comfortable and convenient. Then
the constant moving about, insuring con-
tinuous change of air, could not fail to be
specially beneficial
About the middle of April the whole
command broke camp and started On the
march. The regiment was brigaded with
fiveor six others and had been assigned to
General a. j. Smith, division of the Thir-
teenth Army Corps.
A brigade was made up of from three to
six or seven regiments, division Of from
two to four or five brigades, and an army
corps of from two to five divisions.
Every regiment had two or three ambu-
iances to carry the sick or disabled, sever
al wagons to haul tho tents and other
camp equipage. AS the war progressed,
however, and the men gained experience
In the field, the amount OF baggage was re-
auced to nllnimum and every man found
1t to his advantage to get along with the
least possible in the way of clothing while
in the field.
To each brigade was attached a battery.
These when complete had six cannons and
and six Gals SonS-ammunition wagons - to
each Of which were ATTACHED six horses.
1t will be thus seen that division with its
men marching in not very close ranks, its
ambulances, wagons, batteries, etc, neces-
sarily occupied a good deal of space when
on the road. But in addition there was al
ways train of wagons besides, contain
ing provisions, ammunition and necessary
extra supplies.
To get this long line of men, wagons,
batteries, etc, in proper order and in mo-
lion was no little task and often consumed
no little time, and necessitated many false
starts and sudden halts. To all this, how
seer, the ineh soon became accustomed,

on crutches with q prospect of remaining
so from a wound received in the Red river
expedition in the spring of 1864. Just before
starting on the march, each man received in
his canteen little whisky. The regiment
mad never been in battle, and whether this
was given to supply them with extra cour-
age or whether it was thought the en-
forced march about TO be entered upon
required the use of stimulants, is not
known. But whatever the intention may
have been, no good came from the whisky,
and before night several in the regiment
were foolishly drunk.
When all was ready the regiment started
off at brisk space towards the rising sun,
just visible through the tree tops.
For two miles the road ran through the
river bottom, then up a long hin of red
clay, next by quiet farm houses and culti-
waited fields, through pretty wooded groves
and up quiet lanes, all bearing the marks
Of peace, and resting in supposed security
from the inroads of invading armies.
The boom of cannon could be heard,
and after awhile tho rattle of musketry ;
this excited the men, and they marched
tho faster. AS the morning advanced it
became very warm and many threw away
knapsaclzs, overooats and any thing and
every thing that impeded progress towards
the sounds Of battle in front
By and by towards noon field hospital
at the roadside was reached, and here a
stalwart soldier with his arm in a sling,
and the bright blood oozing through the
bandages over a wound on his breast 9TH
erwise bare, came and stood by the road
side and watched the reinforcements go
forward.
His was the first blood the writer saw
flow from a Confederate bullet.
Other field hospitals were Don passed,
and after a little fences thrown down,
corn fields tracked over, and every thing
disarranged and tramped upon, told that
large bodies of men had been deployed and
advanced over that ground earlier in the
day. A little ahead broken wheels and
dismounted cannon, and now and then d
dead soldier, with here and there disem.
boweled horse, showed the advance Of the
Federals had met with resistance. Next
the road ran down hill and into the tim.
